Roger Eymard :

In mixed events, what is the basis for assigning to Ladies, for instance, 
the South and East seats ?
If the purpose is to have better comparable results, does it mean that the 
SO bases some skill-assessment on sex ?
In some local events, it happens that the SO adds in the "conditions of 
contest" : " for mixed pairs, women pairs admitted". Again, does it mean 
that the SO bases some skill-assessment on sex ?
In such contexts (created by the SO), would it be legitimate to understand 
differently an undiscussed call, whether it is made after Ms call or after 
Mr call ? or depending on who will be at the wheel ?

There is still a long way to go, before an effective boundary prevents any 
incursion of the real world, where human beings play together, into the 
"world of the game", where neutral players act according to and only to the 
rules... Beside, is that fully desirable for the game ?

Best regards

Roger
